And finally, encores of "The Resident" (1.149 million viewers, #9; adults 18-49: 0.3, #T8) and a second "The Resident" (1.546 million viewers, #8; adults 18-49: 0.3, #T8) on FOX (1.348 million viewers, #4; adults 18-49: 0.3, #4) rounded out the night.

In late-night metered market ratings (via NBC's press release):

· The Feb. 3 telecast of "Saturday Night Live" has matched the show's second-highest metered-market household rating since early November and second-best adult 18-49 rating in the local people meters since mid-October.

· With an edition hosted by Natalie Portman and featuring musical guest Dua Lipa, last night's "Saturday Night Live" averaged a 4.6 rating, 12 share in "live plus same day" household results from the 56 local markets metered by Nielsen Media Research and a 2.0/11 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.

· The Feb. 3 "Saturday Night Live" is the #1 telecast of the night on the Big 4 networks in both metered-market households and 18-49 in the local people meters, ahead of all primetime programming on the broadcast networks, including ABC's Rockets-Cavaliers NBA coverage.

· The 4.6 rating in households equals the show's second-highest since Nov. 4, 2017 (4.7 with host Larry David and musical guest Miley Cyrus) and the 2.0 in 18-49 ties as the show's second-best in the local people meters since Oct. 14, 2017 (2.2 with host Kumail Nanjiani and musical guest P!nk), in both cases trailing over those spans the week-ago Jan. 27 episode, hosted by Will Ferrell with musical guest Chris Stapleton (4.7 in households, 2.3 in 18-49).

Here are the highlights of the eight ad-sustained programs that aired in primetime on the broadcast networks one year ago (2/4/17):

FOX (3.167 million viewers, #3; adults 18-49: 0.8, #T1) was the demo champ on Saturday with its coverage of the "NFL Honors" (3.167 million viewers, #5; adults 18-49: 0.8, #T1).

· Last night's "Saturday Night Live" was the #1 telecast of the night on the broadcast networks in both metered-market households and in 18-49 in the local people meters, outrating every Saturday primetime telecast on those nets in both categories.
